Spewing, guess I'll have to cough up for 95 on the runabouts now.

Most of the Shell servos I've been to are E10, they just don't clearly mark it as such but I don't look at every single bowser I'm at since mine snubs its nose at anything less than 98. Sort of like peanuts, this fuel may contain traces of Ethanol. BP have been doing the same for quite awhile.

Yep, since interally cleaning out a full 25m b-double costs around 400-600 bucks and there is only a few spots in NSW that can do it, but the amounts are so small i doubt you will pick it even under a chemical breakdown.

Most transportation companies are pretty good at draining tanks before changing over load types.

Its specifically states in mum's 1999 Festiva's user manual to not use any ethanol fuel.

He is correct.

There is a list of what cars can and cannot use E10 available HERE
